Blocking out the wonder of life by shutting our eyes when we only think of ourselves, by putting continuous music in our ears and bombarding our mind with negative thoughts. Most people seem to be wearing screwed up worried faces. The reality is that we live in a world full of wonder and true magic. We live in a time of relative peace which leads to self indulgence and entitlement. What our ancestors did to advance our lives to give us this pampered existence which we take for granted. Being pioneers in wild environments, dying on the Somme, fighting in the Pacific. How easy is our life? The hardest thing most people have to do is look for their morning coffee.
"But they had the adventures", you say. Your life can still be as ground breaking and forward moving as theirs. You just have to seek the magic. It's still there to find as much as ever.
